Javier Mascherano joins the team

Argentinian talent Javier Mascherano has arrived on Merseyside to begin training with the squad as Liverpool await the go-ahead to play the Southamerican.

According to official sources, the move is still being discussed by the Premier League despite FIFA giving the all-clear for the 18-month loan move to be completed.

However, Mascherano was at Liverpool's Melwood training ground on Monday and coach Rafael Benitez believes it will just be a matter of time before he can hand the 22-year-old his debut.

"In fact, Mascherano is here now. We are still waiting for an answer but we think it will be okay for our new player to train with the squad. He needs to be able to train so he can be ready to play when he's needed," Benitez expressed.

Really looking forward to seeing this guy in action. I like the way Benitez is constantly buying young players, planning for the future. Of course with the new money coming into the club he will probably buy a few 'Star' players to complement the current squad.
